They say good things come to those who wait. This is certainly the case for fans of British artist Martin Luke Brown, who can finally look forward to the release of his debut album, ‘damn, look at the view !’.
The collection of songs will be some of Martin’s most personal, and are inspired by themes such as childhood, nostalgia and mental health.
“Each song is like a journal entry of a specific time in my life – and it gets pretty deep at times – but ultimately the feeling I want to evoke is that life really can be simple and we should squeeze the juice out of every moment.”
Ahead of its launch on the 19th May (pre-save here), Martin has just unveiled a new indie-pop anthem, entitled ‘**it gets better’. Elaborating further on the song and the album itself, Martin says:
“The whole album is a big explore into mental health and general sort of coming of age, angst, nostalgia, all of it. I guess ‘**it gets better’ is the simplest in its meaning – I almost imagined my Mum singing it to me. It’s such a hilarious over simplification of mental health, almost like saying ‘don’t worry about it, it’ll blow over’. It’s ironic really, cos I’m not really entirely sure I believe that it does get better for everyone, but it’s nice for people to just feel good and have a boogie. I wanted to have a song on the record that just felt good and hopeful, as if you’ve arrived home after a long time away.”
